Weapon dps question?

Community General Discussion
1

Why is my dps higher with this 17k dps sword rather then my 37k dps axe?

2

On the axe you have
+50% dmg
And
+30% dmg

Thats already a huuuuge difference
But dont look at this dps shown its not 100% accurate and thats why its gonna be deleted later :smile:

In game it’s showing that my sword has higher dps then the axe

The comparison on the swords screenshot is being compared to my axe, -55% less dps

depends on so many variables.

  • Base attack speed.
  • Nature.
  • +Skills (+Flurry, +Cleave0
  • Elemental damage
  • and so on.

All I know is that no matter how big your damage is, DPS is always bigger on fast weapon.

+1, checking dps on stat pages etc is irrevelant and un-accurate, you’ve to make yourself your own idea of your damage ingame

Never mind I wasn’t taking in account DPS means damage per second… which the sword is alot faster…

I’m using spell sword, will my comet and meteor be affected my the weapons attack speed?

8

In real game sword is better than axe when i battle ep8ignis with axe i need time to kill ignis but if i use sword i can 1hit him with meteor.

it depends…

Sword>lance=hammer>axe.

Axe set affix/green affix are almost useless.
Axe is the worst item for warrior sir this is the truth.
And i think almost no player want axe in their item set.

11

I’d choose lance/hammer over sword/axe.

12

Base on dps their almost all equal but sword use low mana or health + 50% extra attack. depend on your set i use hammer or lance because of its green affix but its tripple the life and mana use and you can find those affix on other item that why for me sword is the best

13

Is spell sword affected by the weapons base attack speed? It seems faster with my axe rather then my sword.

14

Steiger already gave the formula of the dps calculation, give it a try guys, it’s kinda accurate and explicite :smile:

15

Where is the formula?

16

I dont know but bleed in axe is useless also when i used spell sword i think its a bug

17

I asked basically the same thing awhile back and the calculations were explained: Recognizing the Best Items

18

That’s indeed one of the interesting topics! :wink:

19

extra attack chance boosts the listed green bar of dps by an insane amount, even if its not truely higher.

20

Extra attk chance gives you a chance to cast another attack, that’s why it’s increasing your dps, but it doesn’t take in consideration that the “chance” ain’t 100% :confused: (unlike “multi attk” but the difference is that the dmg aren’t 100%, it’s more or less balanced in some ways :unamused: )
